I do hope this raises the tone of the conversation and gets us back on track.

Richard, I like controversial discussions, and controversial people, as do others, and undoubtedly it generates interest, but it has to be managed properly. As soon as the discussion goes beyond hi-fi and into an exchange of personal insults that's when you'll see me enter the fray with my admin hat on. Otherwise, I will contribute to the discussion and offer my views as an ordinary member.My only conclusion is that you want controversy like a red top or that anything will do as long as it keeps up the post rate for the forum. So then when people play your game for you all of a sudden you become Mr Goodygoody and say smacky smacky, sorry it doesn't wear!
It's an old saying with these discussions, and oft used, but as long as people 'play the ball and not the man' everything will be hunky-dory. If everyone puts that thought to the forefront of their mind before hitting the 'send' button we call all look forward to some heated, but politely-expressed, informative and interesting debates

Marco was talking about entering with his hat on his ordinary member
or was it entering an ordinary member with his hat on![]()
<Tee hee>
Ashley was complaining about some unknown 'stains' on his chaise longue, apparently after JC became somewhat 'overexcited' with seeing him resplendent in a fetching ensemble of silk smoking jacket and pink moccasin slippers.
